Put some good tires on the ZL1 for a decent comp. Fair? Nothing against the new edition either. Just saying lets compare when/can with simple tire equality. Then lets see if the weight reduction, engine, and rotor setup really cleans up the "Legend" or not.
PS: Just a response to above comments.... seems like he is focused on the ZL1. The z28 is still DYNOMITE!

I'm not really focused on the ZL1. I was just commenting about what someone said earlier that the 3.8 second advantage the Z/28 had over the ZL1 wasn't really worth the extra cost. To some, it is.
I guess during a longer run, like the 25 or 50 lap race I mentioned, that 3.8 second advantage will grow as the ZL1 brakes begin to fade and the car begins to heatsoak. That 3.8 second advantage could grow exponentially.
